Active clinical trials for "Hepatitis B"

This is a prospective, multicentre observational follow-up study of PegIFN treatment unstained response in nucleoside experienced patients with Chronic Hepatitis B.Patients will join this study after finished following clinical trail about A Study of Combination or Sequential Treatment With PEGASYS (Peginterferon Alfa-2a) and Entecavir in Patients With HBeAg Positive Chronic Hepatitis B(OSST trail),A Real-World Study of Pegylated Interferon In Nucleoside-treated Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B (COST study), Combination Therapy With Interferon Plus Interleukin 2 and Hepatitis B Vaccine in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients(Endeavor study),A Prospective Clinical Trial in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients Nucleotide Analogues Experienced (Anchor A Study),Sequential/Combination Therapy in Nucleoside or Nucleotide Analogue (NA)-Suppressed Chronic Hepatitis B Patients (NPGV study).We plan to compare the HBsAg negative rate and maintenance rate,the occurrence of liver cirrhosis and the occurrence rate of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) related to hepatitis B virus(HBV) within five years between interferon group (including interferon alone or interferon combined with other drugs) and nucleoside analogues.Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they received interferon or not.

This study is a single-group, multi-center and prospective clinical study designed to assess the efficacy and safety of TAF in blocking mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus.Pregnant women whose HBsAg and HBeAg are positive are included in the study.Eligible hepatitis B pregnant women are given TAF antiviral therapy at 24-28 weeks of gestation to block mother-to-child transmission and followed up during pregnancy and after delivery.The study will be initiated with approval by the central ethics committee.Subjects will start screening after signing the informed consent form. Those who meet the criteria will start taking TAF (25mg, oral, 1/day) at 24-28 weeks of gestation until one month after delivery.At that time, chronic hepatitis B carrier will stop taking antiviral therapy, and patients with chronic hepatitis B decide whether to continue the therapy according to the patient's condition.The babies born are immunized according to the national standard immunization program,, that is, 100 IU of hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) and 10 μg/0.5 ml of hepatitis B vaccine are given within 12 hours after birth. And the same dose of hepatitis B vaccine is given at 1 month and 6 months of age.

HBV(hepatitis B virus) with metabolic comorbidities may accelerate liver disease progression and increase the risk of HCC(Hepatocellular Carcinoma)development. It is reported combination of metabolic diseases and CHB is associated with substantially increased rates of liver cirrhosis and secondary liver-related events compared to CHB alone. Consequently, hepatitis B patients with metabolic comorbidities warrant particular attention in disease surveillance and evaluation of treatment indications.

To elucidate the natural course of chronic hepatitis B by serial HBV DNA and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels during pregnancy

The aim of this study is to observe and evaluate initiate serum anti-HBs titers during entrance health examination among undergraduate freshmen in a university who showed a complete 4-dose HBV vaccination in infancy and whose serum status was (1) HBsAg negative and anti-HBc negative and (2) anti-HBc positive alone. For those students whose anti-HBs <10 mIU/ml, additional HBV vaccination boosters were given according to routine governmental suggested schedules. The anamnestic effect then is observed in both groups. The results of this study may contribute to the analysis of the effectiveness of anti-HBV vaccination twenty years after the commencement of the program and the necessity of initiating HBV booster program among Taiwanese young adults.

Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), active against both HIV and HBV, demonstrates similar antiviral efficacy but improved renal and bone safety compared to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in HIV-1-infected patients. HIV-1-infected patients whose estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between 30-69 mL/min were shown to have minimal change in eGFR and improved proteinuria, albuminuria, and bone mineral density after switching to a single-tablet regimen containing Elvitegravir/Cobicistat/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (EVG/cob/FTC/TAF). For treatment of chronic HBV infection, a similar proportion of HBV-monoinfected patients who received TAF and those who received TDF achieved undetectable HBV DNA at 48 weeks of therapy. Although TAF is effective for HIV and HBV suppression, data on efficacy of TAF are limited among patients co-infected with both viruses. Currently, only one open-label, single-arm study had investigated the efficacy and safety of TAF in HIV/HBV-coinfected patients. In this study, 72 HIV/HBV-coinfected patients switching to EVG/cob/FTC/TAF were enrolled, and 91.7% of them maintained or achieved virologic suppression for both HIV and HBV at 48 weeks of therapy. Seroconversion occurred in 2.9% of HBsAg-positive participants and in 3.3% of HBeAg-positive participants. Improvements in eGFR and declines in markers of bone turnover of the participants were observed. The limitations of the above study are the small sample size. Taiwan is a country hyperendemic for HBV infection, with 19.8% of HIV-positive patients who were born before the implementation of nationwide neonatal vaccination in 1986 had concurrent chronic HBV infection. To further the understanding of the difference between TAF- and TDF-containing combination antiretroviral therapy among HIV/HBV-coinfected patients, the investigators plan to conduct an observational study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EVG/cob/FTC/TAF as maintenance treatment of HIV/HBV-coinfected patients.

This study is a multi-center, prospective, real-world study, males and non-pregnant, non-lactating female HBeAg positive or negative patients (above 18 years of age) who were mono-infected with HBV, either NA treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced, but TAF naïve will be enrolled in this study, and they will be treated with TAF, alone or in combination with other HBV antivirals. During 36 months of treatment, efficacy and safety will be evaluated.

To evaluate the efficacy of a new screening for infectious diseases: tuberculosis, HIV, HBV and HCV, based on risk factors questionnaires (TB screen for tuberculosis and TROD screen for HIV and hepatitis) amongst a population of legal migrants during their mandatory medical check-up. This study aims for a global improvement of screening and care for migrants.

Pegylated-interferon (Peg-IFN) α-2a, entecavir (ETV) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) are current recommended first-line antiviral therapies for chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Compared with Peg-IFN therapy, nucleot(s)ide analogue (NUC) therapy has the advantages of having a potent antiviral effect, and good tolerance without side effect. The long-term safety and efficacy of ETV and TDF therapy had also been identified. However, poor durability of the effectiveness after stopping NUC therapy are encountered in the majority of patients. Previous study identified a high HBV relapse rate of over 50% in HBeAg- positive CHB patients treated with lamivudine. A recent study investigating the post-treatment durability of ETV showed that higher to 45.3% of the HBeAg-negative CHB patients happened a clinical relapse within 1-year after stopping ETV therapy. TDF is another recommended first line NUC with high potency and high genetic barrier. Although the efficacy of long-term TDF therapy had been identified, there is lack of data regarding the off-therapy response in CHB patients with TDF therapy currently. Only a small scale of patients treated with TDF were included in a recent study investigating off-therapy relapse in non-cirrhotic HBeAg-negative CHB patients after greater than 4 years of NUC therapy. In addition, the factors associated with off-therapy response are also still uncertain. The investigators plan to enrolled 400 CHB patients who had received oral antiviral therapy ETV or TDF and achieved the Asia Pacific association of the study of liver (APASL) criteria of stopping NUC therapy. The aims of the study are to investigate the rate of HBV relapse including virological and clinical relapse in all and between patients with ETV and TDF therapy, and to identify the predictive factors of relapse.

Liver diseases are worldwide problems. liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma are mostly concerned by clinicians. Radiomcis can improve diagnosis accuracy and evaluate disease progression. Hence,investors try to combine radiomics and ultrasound images together in order to improve diagnosis performances of liver fibrosis, benign and malignant tumor and progression after liver ablations.
